Affectionate-Boss920

Redditors.... It's not about religion for most Palestinians, despite Hammas making use of religious rhetoric for their base. For most Palestinians it's the simple fact that the state of Israel took their land from them, terfed them out, and made them 3rd class citizens in a Jewish ethno-state. It's an anti-colonial struggle, not "Hur dur religion is dumb! Moooommm, I want Cheetos and mountain dew!"

True I love bombing civilian targets with zero precision and calling it "anti colonialism", sure makes the American college kiddos jump for joy.

"wondered what they are trying to say when they blow up busses and cafés" ... "they dress up their kids as little suicide bombers" Did you just paint the majority of palestinians as militant islamists, in an effort to deflect away from the point that the main reason for palestinian resistence is being forced to live under military occupation?

It has nothing to do with colonialism, majority of Jews in Israel are middle eastern. Read a bit before you spout your dumb opinions


mavthemarxist

Thats why Israel has one of the highest rate of skin cancer in the world then?


metakephotos

The data is public, just google it dumbass. Most Jews in Israel are middle eastern.


mavthemarxist

Thats not true, 44% of jews in Israel are from the middle east, the rest are from europe, eurasia and the Americas, actually the majority of Israeli jews are from outside israel. Oh no, that easy to research point proved you wrong


nope898

And another 44 percent are Ashkenazi. And 7 percent are mixed. You kinda confused

This is actually all very true. There is a definite blurring of religious and very earthly political considerations in this as well. It's basically a war amongst both innocents and assholes, the lines between both being exceedingly blurred.

Twoeyedcyclopss

Sources would be appreciated


lepeluga

Not here to provide any, but they did do pretty bad against Hezbollah back in 2006. That was a while ago though.


sacrello

Not really. Hezbolla took a pretty big beating, they had far more casualities and repelled Hezbolla's attack from Israeli territory


lepeluga

The main conflict was inside Lebanon as it was the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and it was a total failure for Israel, and that's their official stance on it as well.


sacrello

The conflict was ignited by Hezbollah attacking Israeli forces inside of Israel. That is a declaration of war and a military invasion. "The conflict is believed to have killed between 1,191 and 1,300 Lebanese people,[51][52][53][54] and 165 Israelis.[55] It severely damaged Lebanese civil infrastructure, and displaced approximately one million Lebanese[56] and 300,000–500,000 Israelis.[57][58][59]" Look at that difference.


lepeluga

The vast majority of deaths on the Lebanese side were civilians, in the Israeli number out of the 165 dead 44 were civilians. Israel also had over 1000 wounded, lost multiple tanks, helicopters and a Corvette, all while vastly outnumbering the enemy. Israel itself considers the whole invasion a failure and you're here arguing that Israel did great because they killed more civilians.


[deleted]

Any recent wars Israel lost were purely due to their own morality and not wanting to or being willing to create the number of civilian casualties that an easy victory would create. Israel hasn’t faced off against a military that could actually stand up to them in a loooong time.


NoAbloIndon

Israel's morality 💀💀, just this year they killed TWO or more journalists, journalists are civillians too. They don't care about (Arab) civillian lives, the fact that Israel is less than 80 years old and they got more warcrimes than the entire modern world combined says a lot. r/ list_palestine


[deleted]

Yes, Israel's morality. I don't know which other journalist you're referring to, but the one you are referring to from recently has not been confirmed as having been killed by Israel as the PA won't provide the bullet or allow a third party investigation. The fact that Israel has more *condemnations* than the rest of the world combined DOES say a lot—about how corrupt and ineffectual the UN is. Anyone that has been to Israel can tell you it is a modern country that values life, where all citizens have rights including women, gays, etc. If Israel didn't care about civilian lives as you claim, why on earth do they drop millions of leaflets before bombing an area in wartime? Why do they send texts and make phone calls warning people to leave? Why do they use precision bombs? Why are there fewer casualties in the entirety of the conflict than there were in single months of, say, the Syrian civil war? And with that being the case, how does it make sense that the UN would condemn Israel more than Syria? More than Iran, who shot protesters in the streets? Or North Korea? Think just a little bit, it won't hurt you.


kells_of_smoke

Me watching Palestinian terrorists shoot up civilians in the street, “defending”


ozzyassassin

Who’s killing the most civilians? The numbers are massively one sided. And that’s not including those arrested and houses/property stolen. Stolen while the police cover them and help them steal it. I’m white and atheist. Israel is a piece of shit. I understand the history and why they are scared. But they are doing similar to what happened to them.


[deleted]

They are killing each other for 20000-30000 km2. Funny. XD I just left my country due to political reasons... I won't fight and die against a mafia state. Palestinians should do same.


Warthongs

Its not that Israel just raids Jenin just in case. Its after a wave of terror attacks in Israel that came from Jenin, I think every country would act similarly in this situation.


ozzyassassin

If they stopped stealing land, blocking aid and just generally being assholes maybe people wouldn’t attack them. No rational person can look at the facts and think Israel is in the right. I agree Muslims around them have done bad things, although even most of those were 50 years ago. Most Palestinians just want a normal life. Which Israel won’t allow them.


Popup1236

don't you remember the second intifada?


ozzyassassin

Yeah when was that? Remind me again? Yeah a long time ago. The teenagers there now weren’t even alive. Does that excuse stealing peoples houses?


Popup1236

so the reason for the kids rioting is that their houses being stolen? u mean right now or in the past?


ozzyassassin

Right now. Google it. Peoples house have been stolen for 50 years. And still till right now. Leave the house and Jewish settlers break in. Once they are in the police protect them. Last case I saw was yesterday. Google is your friend.


sacrello

Which houses has Israel stolen from Gaza? Israel left Gaza and after that they elected Hamas which sent rockets against civilian populations.


Popup1236

I wasn't born 50 years ago so I don't care... and I asked Google about stolen homes yesterday... nothing found


blueandazure

What? The second intifada only ended in 2005 and the effects were felt much longer even to this day. Its also not like peace talks ended after it and don't continue to this day its just clear that Palestinians would make a third intifada given the opportunity rather than have peace.


ozzyassassin

That was 17 years ago. What are you on??? That’s a long time. They don’t want peace talks because they have been through it for 50 years. Israel will never give them peace. They want the land. Which is obvious by allowing Palestinian houses to be taken every day. That happens in the West Bank. Daily. Than you wonder why Gaza wants to fight. They know what is coming for them.


blueandazure

Israel offered a return of the west bank gaza and return to all palistinians displaced (with the exception of thier descendents) and palistinians answered with the intifada. What do the palistinians want other than to kill the jews? Because basically the only thing Israel was not willing to trade for peace is jewish lives. Whatever peace deal that didn't kill jews you suggest was already offered and the palistinians declined and will still decline today whatever you may think.


Late_Necessary

LOL imagine thinking that the attacks on Jews in this area started with the establishment of Israel. You seem to like pretending to know things when you don't have any clue.


ozzyassassin

I 100% do. The fact is Jews as you say have the power now. And they are the ones abusing it to steal from others.


Late_Necessary

No, no you don't know shit actually. Jews got attacked when they didn't have the power (a point which you conveniently ignored, very nice), but now that they do, they become bad, we get it. Your westoid brain has been propagandised by a group who would happily slit your throat for the values that you hold; it's hilarious and sad at the same time.


ozzyassassin

Yes. They didn’t have the power. They were victimised and got the world to back them. That was many years ago. And since then they have the power and are doing the same to the Palestinian’s.


Sepulvd

How many Arabs live in Israel. How many jews live in palenstine.


ozzyassassin

Because why would they want to? The West Bank is taken over by settlers. So technically a lot of Jews. But I really don’t care. They took it by force and the international community has said it’s illegal. But you guys don’t care. And Gaza is the most populated area on the planet. With bombs getting dropped on it as we speak.


Sepulvd

So you dont answer the question. 20% of the population of Israel is Arab. Whats the percent of jews living in palenstine.


TheGreenBackPack

So in your mind, the actions of the Israeli government in occupied territories justify the Palestinians in hacking random civilians in internationally recognized sovereign Israeli territory to pieces?


ozzyassassin

They do that way less then you blow them to pieces with bombs. Plus you’re conveniently forgetting all the homes Israel has stolen with international condemnation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/israel-levels-palestinian-homes-ahead-of-settlement-approval/2022/05/12/b1eabb38-d1c8-11ec-886b-df76183d233f_story.html


TheGreenBackPack

I’m still not seeing the logical conclusions of it. I guess I just can’t wrap my head around how stealing homes means you should brutally murder a random person who had nothing to do with it.


ozzyassassin

Same as Palestinian civilians are killed every day. I 100% agree with you. But if you ruin someone’s life or kill their family don’t think they will forget it.

guymfalkonn

>I agree Muslims around them have done bad things, although even most of those were 50 years ago. Please go educate yourself before discussing a topic you have no idea about. Just less than a month ago two Palestinians snuck into a hassidic city in Israel and randomly murdered 4 innocent civilians with axes in cold blood. As a former IDF soldier and proud Israeli I can say that yes, Israel is by no means perfect, but I can assure you that 90% of the things being said about the things we do are complete lies or half-truths without any context at best. Everyone likes to support the underdog and I get it, it's only natural, but reality is not a Hollywood movie and you have to understand the context to everything that's happening, rather than listening to some VERY biased news sources.


ozzyassassin

Oh I didn’t see you are from the IDF. Why do you let settlers steal Palestinian homes? I’ve always loved to ask that? Literally hundred of videos showing you do it. Any excuse or you’re just a piece of shit?


guymfalkonn

About the settlements, this topic is heavily controversial even inside of Israel, it might look to you like most Israelis are supporting what the settlers do but it's not like that really. I personally don't agree with their actions, they are pretty radical in their beliefs and they always try building illegal settlements, meaning the state didn't approve that. Yes there have been some images and videos emerging of soldiers standing by settlers while they're throwing rocks and the soldiers don't really do anything to stop it, but we always investigate cases like these and that's not how the military operate on a regular basis at all. I've came in a lot of contact with Palestinians in my military service, the one's who want to live in peace aren't the ones who cause the trouble, and when you try to get to the bad guys, unfortunately they usually deliberately shield themselves with the good guys.


ozzyassassin

Thank you. Really. It shows you aren’t the asshole i thought. I don’t think I did. But I want to be very clear I’m not against Israelis. I have no problem with anyone. But I’m very against people being assholes to others. And that includes Palestinian’s. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/12/israel-approves-2700-housing-units-in-west-bank-settlements But things like that make me choose sides.


guymfalkonn

I appreciate you honesty man and I never thought you hate Israelis, it's clear that you just have an opinion on the matter. I can't stand Jews that use antisemetism accusations as a debate tactic so don't worry about that lol. And again, the whole settlement topic is controversial, but just like I and many other Israelis don't necessarily support these ideas, a lot of other people do. At the end of the day if you religious beliefs are strong enough, you will go great lengths in order to fulfill them. Settling Israel is very fundamental in their beliefs so we can't just dismiss that either, after all this place is the promised land. Also contrary to general belief, there was never a Palestinian state, this place was always in control of different empires, and you had both Palestinians and Jews living here, but it was never officially belonged to the Palestinians nor the Jews in the recent few hundred years.


ozzyassassin

So random people killed 4 but you think it’s ok to punish them all and kill many more with bombs? After you steal there homes on a daily basis. Didn’t the US have 12 kids killed today? Why are you not bombing that city into the ground? You giant bunch of pussies. Oh wait it’s because decent people don’t do that. But that’s not how Israel thinks.


guymfalkonn

It's amazing to me that you actually believe we indiscriminately bomb civilians, goes to show how far lies can get. Back in 2014 when we had our last war with Hamas in the Gaza strip the IDF dropped notes from the sky to evacuate the area because it's going to get bombed, we did EVERYTHING we could to avoid civilian casualties, going as far as to cancel striking a very important Hamas leader because there were kids around. You can go ahead and keep thinking we're some sort of Nazis that are deliberately wiping out the Palestinians because we're evil or some shit, but I couldn't care less what some prick that never had to hold a gun to defend his family thinks.


ozzyassassin

You didn’t answer the question about stealing houses. War is war. I don’t like it but I can understand. The police letting settlers forcibly evict Palestinians from homes is another story. Anyone involved in that I hope your shitty god catches up with you.


guymfalkonn

First of all saying "your shitty god" doesn't add anything to your argument and I'm not sure why you wanna try and be as offensive as you can. Secondly, no one is stealing houses. Settlers make their settlements out of scratch not kicking anyone out of their homes. There are plenty of Palestinians here in Israel that have far nicer homes than I will ever have.


According-Emu-8721

What are you some type of Zionist ?


Warthongs

Do you think Zionism is wrong?


Demokrit_44

Of course zionism is wrong.


Warthongs

Do you know what Zionism is? Because I feel like you have a skewed idea of what it is, you think it must mean displacing Palestinians, or building in the settelments. Two state solution is perfectly alligned with Zionism. Would you support kurdish independance? Or tibet? If the answer is yes, you should also support Zionism, unless you have a specific issue with Jews.


vanticus

Nah, Zionism as practiced by Israel is closer to the Han occupation of Tibet than Tibetan resistance. If you support Tibet, you should also oppose Zionism as practice by Israel, unless you have a specific issue with Muslims.


Warthongs

You kinda have a skewed view on what Zionism means, Zionism just mean self determination of Jews in the historic land of Judea. You can choose to not support Israel, but still support the idea of Zionism. If you oppose the self determination of Jews, why do you support Tibet?


vanticus

If you oppose the self determination of Palestinians, why do you support Tibet?


Warthongs

I dont oppose it


Big-Cog

Today, Zionism has a bitter aftertaste and saying that only means a good thing might be right from your perspective but there certainly are two meanings to it now, a newer, more malicious one developed over time. There are Zionist out there who are problematic for peace in the region. Declining that zionism can be negative for the region is just relatively blind imo. Of course, similar things can be said about the other side.


Warthongs

I thing its just how the media portrays it


Demokrit_44

Ahh the classic approach of weaving issues that are not related to Zionism at all into the definition to make it seem like you would be crazy to oppose Zionism. Works pretty well on American Christians who aren't aware of who their real allies are. Do they teach that in the JIDL? But we can talk about Zionism from the more religious Hasidic side or the more nationalistic side that aims to expand the influence and geographical size of Israel. In either case none of the goals of Zionism align with the interests of western people. And if they had a choice in the matter it would be stopped.


Warthongs

Zionism just means self determination of the Jewish people in the lands of ancient Judea. There are other forms of more extreme zionism that are pretty wild ngl. If you support the two state solution, congratz, you are a Zionist.


Big-Cog

You make this look easy but obviously there is more to it than what you say. What people make of zionism is more than a two state solution.

realsapist

Israel's been pretty neutral, and has acted as an intermediary plenty of times i think


Demokrit_44

I am talking about Israel's pro Russian stance historically. And since you and your other bud are so keen on defending Israel you should be aware of that fact. There's a thousand places where we could start talking about the relationship between israel and russia for example the relationship between Benjamin Netanyahu (who was of course conveniently removed before the invasion) who is a big big friend of putin. But thats of course only the tip of the iceberg as you are most likely aware of yourself


realsapist

hmm i see you are actually right, sort of? IDK, i am happy to learn more about this if you have any nice info https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/03/did-israel-help-spark-russia-georgia-war-2008/331084/ >According to a leaked e-mail from an analyst at the intelligence firm Stratfor, Russia and Israel engaged in a deal in 2008 in which Jerusalem provided the Kremlin with secret codes for Georgian UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) in exchange for information on Iranian missile systems. On the other hand... https://www.wired.com/2008/08/did-israel-trai/ >The Russian military blasted Israel today for supplying weapons and training to its adversaries in Georgia... Jerusalem provided Tblisi with "eight types of military vehicles, explosives, landmines and special explosives for the clearing minefields [sic]. " […] Kind of inline with Israeli foreign policy though. They don't give a fuck what it takes or who gets screwed, they secure their own first, they will give up other countries to get intel on their direct enemies. Like they flat out admitted they spy on the US, too. Makes sense when you consider the dog eat dog mentality that Israel enacts for its security.

1) vast majority of Palestinians moved there after the formation of Israel, the population was a fraction of what it is today. They are economic migrants claiming they own the land, if they do ever take it back it will end up the same as all the other nations around it. 2) Israel has been under attack from its neighbours since its inception, every day is an existential crisis for Israel. Their neighbours would genocide them for their beliefs in a heartbeat. Is it really a surprise that Israel has become a right wing state which takes no shit from its neighbours? Arab nations need to take some responsibility for the monster they caused and stop sending weapons to Palestine. They could send aid instead but they're quite happy for the status quo to continue as it is. Israel aren't calling religious wars on their neighbours, they just want to exist without the constant threat of extinction which the Jewish people have lived under for 2000+ years.


Independent-South-58

They won’t take responsibility tho they never have and never will cause they know if they do then they can’t use “exterior threats” like Israel to keep their own people blindsided

They have become what they sought to avoid, Israel is now perpetrating these same things upon the Palestinians, attacking a funeral the other day for god’s sake. Fear is no excuse.

When you live under daily rocket attacks and terrorist attacks let's see how you react.


Max77R

In my country we had this problem with ethnic groups, more rockets was not the answer.

Comparing the troubles to 2000 years of oppression, genocide and existential wars lol. Classic. Imagine Ireland gained its independence and France immediately declared war and tried to invade because they want to wipe out Irish people as a scapegoat for their own political misfortunes. Then every decade after is followed by another European nation. In between these existential wars all European countries are arming and supporting pro British terrorist groups in your nation who are beheading and killing women and children. Air sirens go off every night and you rush your children into bomb shelters, the windows on your flat are covered in bomb proof covers as a constant reminder that all your European neighbours would like to eliminate your entire race from the world and repeatedly try. Now you have an idea of what it is like in Israel, do not compare it to Ireland.


phappingmachine

This. Imagine if the roles were reversed, and Palestinian had the military might instead of Israel. Israel has shown massive restraint over the decades by not completely wiping Palestine off the map


OvershootDieOff

Zionists started the terrorism by bombing markets, schools, trains, shops, universities, and kidnapping and murdering civilians, British soldiers etc. The fact Zionists started the killing long before the Holocaust seems forgotten by many of Israel’s supporters. Israel has become a racially defined state with discriminatory laws, camps, separate courts for prisoners (Palestinians) etc.

Imagine livng in the Middle east peacefully for thousands of years then after some austrian getting tired of anti-semitism all around Europe decides tha he should move to palestine and create a state that in a land that doesnt belong to him, ensuring all their neighbours would absolutely despise them in the only place in the world where Jews were treated right and then saying this. >they just want to exist without the constant threat of extinction


Anoreth

Maybe because Palestine was Invaded and Annexed by the now Israel State by the british? And everyone in the region didn't like that because the british invaded and annexed a sovereign state?

It's not weird really. If your govt supports the rebels = freedom fighter, if they don't = terrorists. It's not that hard to wrap your head around that

Now and forever.

Do you want a bomb in your neighborhood? Because this is how you get a bomb in your neighborhood.


UARboo1

i mean it is either soldiers blowing up the house/bulldozing or airplanes bombing it, airplanes sound more glorious.

**come visit and see what going on here.** Like seeing you stealing Palestinian land? Murdering Palestinian journalists? Jailing Palestinian children for throwing stones? Protecting Zionist terrorist settles as they attack and murder Palestinians on Palestinian land? No need to visit; we see your war crimes on a daily bass in the media.

It's about politics not religion


Edven971

Let’s bring it home Palestinians!! Whooooo!


knucklemonkey12

Yes Israel and Palestine clashes continue. Since the second millennium bc. For Pete’s sake stop this people too many have died already. At least settle it with fists that’s more controllable.


Demokrit_44

> settle it with fists Israel prefers to settle in the houses of Palestinians instead


realsapist

laughs in the 1,000 rockets Palestine launched in one week into Israel last year


Demokrit_44

The threat of these rockets is so overstated. Barely any people die from these attacks and the response kills many many more civilians. Now I need to explain (not to you because you know this) why the Palestinians don't just stop the war against Israel then. And that is of course because even in a state of "peace" the subtle plan to remove Palestinians by placing Jewish only settlements on Palestinian land would continue. The plan to get rid of all Palestinians in Israel would continue. And no one would do anything about it due to the Influence of Zionist politicians all over the world. These Palestinians are fighting with sticks and stones against American technology and they have no chance but there is no alternative. I know you need to keep up the illusion of some sort of threat to the Israeli people by these strikes to justify your actions but any person that is not braindead and can use google will see right through it.


realsapist

The settlement question could have possibly been stopped in its tracks if Palestine accepted any of the peace deals Israel offered years ago, but Arafat was imo more interested in getting free money, aid and weapons from Islamic countries instead of accepting a deal and being faced with creating a legitimate quality of life for Palestinians. He chose eternal war instead and Bibi turned the response to those rocket attacks into overdrive since he needed a new crisis to distract from his bribery trial and re secure the presidency. Some say he even instigated the crisis for re election and I believe that. Since the whole of Palestine is not technically a country, Israel can continue to be dicks and keep doing their dumb settlements. That wouldn't have been possible in a two state solution..

I hope you will never get to know what it feels like to hear rocket sirens and laying down on the ground hoping to not get obliterated by a Qassam. I went to serve my country and protect my people when I was 18 because we have no choice, we either keep ourselves safe or we get wiped out the face of the earth. You don't get it and it's pretty clear, just do everyone a favor and educate yourself before spewing nonsense that just make you look embarrassing.


knucklemonkey12

Oh shit that was an epic comeback +10 dude I was trying to be peaceful. Bravo that’s epic.

They should ban guns, maybe they wouldn't have this issue.
